Personal Trainer

Help students take off the freshman fifteen and you could find yourself earning $20 or even $30 per hour. Even if you charge less for struggling college students, you’ll make money for basically telling other people how to work out. Plus it’s a rewarding option that could help a lot of people on campus.

8. Cleaning Services

Cleaning Services

Find 10 students who need their clothes washed a few times a week and double charge them based on the cost of a washer and dryer. If it normally costs $5 to do a load of launder, offer to take care of washing and folding for $10. If you have 10 clients and wash their laundry twice a week you just earned $100.

As an added bonus, you can sit around and study as you wait for their laundry to finish washing and drying.

You can also clean student apartments and dorm rooms for some decent cash.
